Byron Bay (Minjungbal: Cavvanbah) is a beachside town located in the far-northeastern corner of New South Wales, Australia (in Bundjalung Country). It is located 772 kilometres (480 mi) north of Sydney and 165 kilometres (103 mi) south of Brisbane. Cape Byron, a headland adjacent to the town, is the easternmost point of mainland Australia.[2] At the 2021 census, the town had a permanent population of 6,330.[1] It is the largest town of Byron Shire local government area, though not the shire's administrative centre (which is Mullumbimby).
